There was a lot of information that I threw at you towards the end of class, so I'm going to repeat a lot of what I said in this post in case my announcements lacked clarity and coherence.
Before class on Thursday, I'd like to meet with those of you who haven't already come to my office. For those who don't have a time set up, email me today. I will give you feedback on your first draft (and give you back the copy of your first draft) during the conference, so it's important that you give yourself time to revise before bringing papers to your group members on Thursday.
On Thursday, make sure you have a 7-9 minute presentation prepared. Some of you didn't pick up the quizzes after class, so you'll need to make sure and pick them up on Thursday so you can complete them to turn them in to me.
And on Thursday, bring 3 copies of your second draft to your peers.
This should be a complete draft. From this point on, I'd like you to turn in drafts that you would feel comfortable turning in for a grade. You won't give your papers to me on Thursday, but I will see your next draft next week. I will give you further instructions on Thursday about the procedure for the peer review.
And before Thursday, make sure you read your group members' blogs. I know this is a lot of work (with the presentations, the second drafts, and the blog post readings), but it will mean less work for you next week.
ALSO, take your papers to the writing center.
That's all. :)
If you have any questions about any of this, make sure to email me. I look forward to reading your blog posts this week!
